This era of Batman is well-written and beautifully drawn
Format: Hardcover
This era of Batman is well-written and beautifully drawn. But that consistency is also its weakness. These are mostly detective stories, hardly any super villains, mostly gangsters and corrupt businessman. Batwoman is introduced here, and Bat-hound is featured in certain stories. Even Superman and the Joker appear briefly. Someone commits a crime, Batman figures out who did it, and the story ends in 12 pages. The Batman team was a well-oiled machine in the 1950s Still I recommend it. Worth it for the art alone and some great novelty stories.
